RIYADH — An Aramco-owned tower located in the heart of the Saudi capital's financial district has sustained damage following a missile strike launched by Yemen's Houthi movement.
The incident occurred during a fresh wave of strikes targeting Riyadh. Footage authenticated by BBC Verify confirmed visible damage to the prominent skyscraper, which is owned by the state-backed Saudi oil giant. While regional air defenses intercepted multiple incoming threats, the impact on the financial district underscores ongoing security challenges as the cross-border conflict persists.
Authorities have not yet released full casualty figures or detailed assessments regarding the structural extent of the damage to the Aramco facility. The attack marks another escalation in the protracted conflict involving the Iran-backed Houthi group and regional infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
